Christmas market in Levico Terme

The Christmas market in Levico Terme looks like an ancient fairy tale, it is an enchanted place where you can enjoy the true Christmas spirit.

A natural area provided with little wood stalls, which stands between the secular trees and the snow. A unique atmosphere that will allow you to discover the special smells of the traditional Christmas drink “Vin Brulè”, watch some expert artisans creating and building wonderful sculptures, taste the products of our territory such as “polenta” (corn mush) or cheese from dairy farm.

An ideal Christmas market where families and children can cuddle the animals of our farm, meet Santa Claus who will personally collect your gift wishes, meanwhile his little assistants will let you play in the Elf's village.

In the historical centre of Levico instead, you will admire the hundreds of nativity scenes, located in the most marvellous corners of the town.
